Feeling a touch nervous, Colorado Democrat pols? Judging by the
responses to your unconstitutional gun bans and magazine capacity
limits, you should be.

How many of you are facing recall
elections? exactly how many businesses are leaving Colorado? How many
planned hunts (a HUGE source of Colorado income, and the livelihood of
thousands in the Rockies) have been cancelled? Oh yeah, you jackasses
are gonna feel the pain. Today (6-30-2013) you have a mile a half mile
long waiting for the 1500 free 30 round magazines (provided by one of
the companies you pissed off, MagPul Industries) and the 18500 others
they provided for sale prior to implementation of this
unconstitutional law.

It's good to see an Iraqui war vet standing up once again for our
rights.

It's even better to hear him comparing
supporting the New York SAFE Act to supporting the USA Patriot Act,
TSA, and internment of Japanese descended Americans in concentration
camps in WWII. Because he's totally correct. And it's good to hear
him. Listen to his heartfelt words in the video contained in the print
link. He doesn't speak with proper sentence structure and grammar, but
he certainly speaks from the heart and mind.

Missouri's cowardly Democrat—OK, that's saying the same thing
twice, but I digress—governor, Jay Nixon, vetoed their new
nullification law, referenced in last week's rant.

wonder if they have enough votes to override it.... Gotta go
finish reading that MSNBC crap. The things I do for you wonderful
readers!

I'm going to want to see where this one ends up.

I do not believe you can actually BE arrested for refusing police access to your house.

Oh what fun it is to see Obama hoist on his own petard.

First, he orders the CDC to study gun violence
to show it's meteoric rise. Ummm, didn't happen. Gun violence is down
across the boards. Suicide by gun is high (61% of the 335,600 firearms
related deaths in the last decade), a sad thing indeed. as the linked
story says,

The study finds that "Between the years 2000-2010 firearm-related
suicides significantly outnumbered homicides for all age groups,
annually accounting for 61 percent of the more than 335,600 people who
died from firearms related violence in the United States."

While this is still a depressing statistic, it supports gun-rights
advocates' claims that the country has a mental health problem, not a
gun owner problem. In fact, the study found that those who own guns,
carry them, and fight back against criminals are actually fare better
in dangerous situations.

The report notes that virtually all studies which "assessed the
effect of actual defensive uses of guns" found the same thing. There
are "consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims
compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies."

Yeah, but I hear the liberal whiny-pants gun grabbers saying guns
aren't used much for self defense. After all, we almost never read or
see it in the mainstream media, do we? The lfties assure us this is
true, so it MUST be! From the linked story-

The CDC report finds that "Defensive use of guns by crime victims
is a common occurrence." In fact, while exact statistics are hard to
come by, the report indicates that "Almost all national survey
estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as
common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses
ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year, in the
context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008."

So, there's as much as a 10 to 1 ratio of defensive firearm use
vs. offensive use, though admittedly the 3 million figure is probably
a bit high.

Gun violence has dropped, every year by an average of 5%, since
1993. Put that one in your pipe and smoke it. Oh, and before you
bemoan the "fact" that firearms related accidents kill thousands, one
last quote from the linked article.

According to the report, "firearm-related death rates for youth
ages 15 to 19 declined from 1994 to 2009," while the number of
accidental shootings declined as well. The report states that
"Unintentional firearm-related deaths have steadily declined during
the past century. The number of unintentional deaths due to
firearm-related incidents accounted for less than 1 percent of all
unintentional fatalities in 2010."

My thanks go to NewsVine seeder RealityCheck for the giving me the
linked story through my Gun group on NewsVine. This next one I got
from him as well.

Mark Kelly, who most will remember is the hubby of Gabby Giffords,
the formerly pro-gun representative who took a bullet to the head and
changed her position. Well, he's up to his old tricks again.

After being turned down in his attempt to buy
and AR15 (once for presenting invalid ID, and once because the owner
had heard him announce he wasn't buying the gun for personal use,
which is prohibited), is going on an anti-gun tour. And, as the linked
story points out, despite his demands we ban magazines that hold over
10 rounds, and the ready availability of 10 round magazines for his
Glock pistol, HIS wears a 17 round magazine. Another fine example of
the Victim Disarmament crowd and their raging hypocrisy. NOTE: I do
not hold it against Gabby for her change of stance, even though I find
it pathetic to blame the device for the actions of the person. As the
JPFO says "Isn't it funny that when a bombing takes place, the media
blames the bomber. But when a shooting takes place, they blame the
gun." You don't need to be Jewish to join
Jews For The Preservation
of Firearms Ownership. They are actually on our side, unlike the NRA.

I'm thinking this is a great sign, and a trend to support.

Indiana Mom's Against Gun Control is a woman's group advocating
concealed and open carry and opposing gun control. It's a nice
thing to see the ladies fighting for their rights. This one sent
to me by Viner Lavender Skye, a pistol packin' babe.

Another victim of the Obama/Holder debacle known as Operation Fast

Another weapon they failed to track when they forced gunshop owners to
violate federal laws and sell to suspected "Straw Man" buyers. This time,
instead of a federal Border Patrol agent, or a bunch of anonymous
Mexican peasants, one of Mexicos highest law enforcement officers was
the victim. I wonder if Mexico will consider THIS an act of war?
